Alexander James was absolutely fantastic. They gave me advice coaching and were there to chat too if I needed anything. Totally professional all the way through.

John Mills

Truck Sales - MAN Truck & Bus

Candidate

Having searched for a new job for a few months Alexander James' website popped up and within a week they'd introduced me to a couple of companies looking to recruit, one of which have now employed me. Even in these difficult times Alex worked hard to find me a new job and I’d recommend his company to anyone looking to move forward in their career.

Ben Hurdman

Regional Sales Manager - Terberg DTS

Candidate

This year I had decided to change my career path and Alexander James Recruiting gave me a call in regards to my current position. They called very regularly making sure I was okay during the interview process both before and after. Within two weeks I had a new role from the first point of contact to an offer of employment. Even now they regularly check up on me to make sure I have settled in and am enjoying my new role. Probably the best recruiter I have had dealings with. 10/10.

I can most definitely recommend Alex, to have full faith in him and trust his judgement when you are placed forward for an interview. I have dealt with Alex since last year 2019 being in SA before I came to the UK we had begun our search for me. In September 2020 I landed and December 2020 I have been successful and was offered my dream Job and my dream Career. Alex puts in all the effort and time, just be patient and it will happen for you. Thank you Alex you are remarkable at what you do.

"Working with Jordan and Alexander James Recruiting was a real pleasure, he was there at every stage of the process and found me a role that matched my needs and requirements, in, what appeared to be, a seamless and professional manner. I was kept up to date the whole way through and Jordan was always available to speak to even on days when I knew he was on annual leave. I thank Jordan for all of his help and although I would love to say I will use him again, I know I won’t have to as he found me a job that I love and I will be staying here for a long time to come."
